Don't sweat it too much. The shutter is more sturdy than the manual makes you feel. I've heard stories of people pushing a finger all the way through the blades without damage one they return to their correct position. I've touched my ME-S and ZX5's shutters a few times without consequence. So, be a bit careful, but if the shutter looks OK and sounds OK, it's most probably fine. j -- --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Juan J.
